Mentioning the country of Niger is impossible. I am aware of what it is spelled like, but please. Nigeria is okay, and Niger isn't? It's pronounced “NIGH-jer” or “nee-ZHER” if you're French. It doesn't even sound like the offensive word.

EDIT: Typed in “Nіger” with a Cyrillic і, and it passed.

I also checked. Niger and (the word it is spelled like) also don't even originate from the same source.

How the country of Niger got its name (Wiktionary):

Frequently misidentified as derived from the Latin niger (“black”), Niger is derived from a series of mistranslations and geographic misplacements by Greek, Roman and Arab geographers, likely originally from Ptolemy's descriptions of the valley Gir (a wadi in modern Algeria), and the “Lower Gir” (or “Ni-Gir”) to the south. In one local Berber language, “gher” means “watercourse”, and thus may have been derived from Berber tales of large river south of the Sahara desert.

I think they just don't want it to even look like it because this is a children's site
